For every vehicle owner or who may give a team member a hard time, Rhonda encourages them to take a deep breath and go to at least two more addresses. She says those two extra stops will help reconfirm their conviction for making drivers and passengers of these vehicles safe from injury and possible death.

MarketSource’s recall solution deploys specialized field canvassing teams to locate hard-to-reach product owners, educate them about the risks associated with outstanding recalls, and guide them to completed repairs, turning manufacturer compliance obligations into tangible customer protection. Teams locate owners whom manufacturers have been unable to reach, build trust through person-first engagement, overcome objections and logistical barriers, and either complete repairs on the spot or coordinate repairs at the owner’s convenience.

How does MarketSource locate and reach owners that manufacturers have been unable to contact?

MarketSource uses a combination of GIS-powered strategic territory mapping, a customized CRM for targeted and comprehensive outreach, and an unmatched data environment for compliance tracking and reporting. GIS capabilities include pinpointing primary languages spoken in a territory, enabling MarketSource to deploy multi-lingual teams that can communicate effectively with owners across diverse communities, a critical advantage in high-density, multilingual urban markets.
